Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 Compute Platform is an ARM based SoC for Windows laptops . It integrates four big ARM Cortex-X1 performance cores (up to 3 GHz) and four smaller ARM Cortex-A78 with up to 2.4 GHz.
The Compute Platform also integrates a Snapdragon X62 5G modem with up to 10 Gbps download and 316 Mbps upload. The integrated WLAN modem supports Wi-Fi 6E (2x2) and the satellite positioning system supports BeiDou, Galileo, GLONASS, GPS, QZSS, and SBAS. The integrated video engine supports H.264, H.265, and VP9 decoding in 4K 120fps.
The performance should be around 85% faster for the CPU and 60% faster for the GPU compared to the previous generation (Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 ).
The chip is produced in the modern 5nm process at Samsung (5LPE) and designed for fanless laptops (7 to 9 Watt TDP range).
